Abstract

MANY of the heavy soils of the West Australian wheatbelt have been farmed for 30 or 40 years, and farmers now frequently complain that these soils are becoming more difficult to handle, that greater power is needed to break up the soil, and the time that it remains in a workable condition after rains is shorter.
